The staff was super friendly. The room was clean and the bed was amazingly comfortable. There were deer and elk that would literally lay around under the trees out front of the inn. The only detractor is the walls are very thin, so sounds from the other rooms could be heard clearly. Overall, I would highly recommend staying at Columbine Inn. They probably have the best rates in Estes Park. Except for here, Dominos and McDonald’s, you will need to take quite a bit of extra money as everything is way overpriced.

Originally I would’ve thought pulling in to the hotel it was outdated but it fits perfect for the vibe of the Estes Park area! Our room was very clean, towels and linens were soft and comfortable.

Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was quiet, clean and well-stocked. I loved that there wasn't carpet in the room. I wish there was a pool, but otherwise I would recommend the Columbine and would stay there again.

Nice little stay

The staff member at check in was so friendly, right off the bat! The room was clean and comfortable. The air conditioning worked without any issue and cooled the room well. I was only there for one short night and it was perfect!

This place was perfect for an over night before heading into RMNP. Not sure about the rest of the property, but our room had clearly been taken down to the studs and remodeled in the past few years. Clean, comfortable, stylish, and the perfect nights stay. This is a motel...meaning you pull your car right up to the door which is perfect to unload your gear right from trunk to room. Can't say enough great things about this place. Oh and the woman who checked us in was charming, helpful, and nice as can be. If in Estes Park again, we will stay here.
